The Oil Change Done Right
The oil change is the single most important piece of preventive maintenance you do — get it right and your engine lasts; cut corners and you pay for it later. We don't cut corners.
Every Green Drop oil change uses an OEM-grade filter and either re-refined or full synthetic oil — your choice. We drain the old oil into our closed-loop recycling system, check your tire pressures, reset the TPMS and oil-life indicator, and give you a written multi-point inspection before you drive off.
Most services are in and out in 30–45 minutes. Book online, drop by, or walk in.
Why We Offer Re-Refined Oil
Re-refined motor oil is used oil that's been re-processed back to the same API specifications as new oil — it performs identically in your engine, meets every manufacturer requirement, and takes roughly 85% less energy to produce than starting from crude.
Using it closes a loop that would otherwise end with oil getting burned for fuel or landfilled. It's a meaningful environmental choice you can make without compromising your vehicle, and it's part of why we were one of the first shops in Oregon to earn the DEQ EcoBiz certification.
Prefer synthetic? We stock full synthetic and synthetic-blend options too. We'll recommend what matches your vehicle's spec and driving patterns — never upsell you into the more expensive oil if your car doesn't need it.

What's Included in Every Oil Change
Drain and Recycle
We drain your used oil into a sealed collection system and route it through our closed-loop recycler. Nothing gets dumped, nothing gets burned off — it goes back into the oil stream.
New Filter and Fresh Oil
OEM-grade filter and your choice of re-refined or synthetic oil. We fill to your vehicle's exact capacity and verify the level on a clean dipstick — no approximation.
Fluid Top-Offs
Coolant, washer fluid, power steering, and brake fluid all checked and topped off to spec. If any fluid is low or off-color, we flag it in the written report rather than silently adding more.
Multi-Point Inspection
Belts, hoses, tires, brakes, lights, wipers, and undercarriage all get a visual check. You leave with a written report — green/yellow/red — so you know what's healthy, what's watching, and what actually needs attention soon.

So much to say! A honest, transparent, and clear process. I enjoyed talking to the team at Green Drop each time. They offered suggestions, respected my budget, and most of all, made my Jeep run well — a task no other mechanic could do. And for a very reasonable price!

Literally best shop around! Cody was very professional and helped me out so much. The mechanics did such a great job checking everything and letting me understand what was wrong with my car. Did not once ever feel like I was being ripped off. I will be a forever customer.

Many thanks to Green Drop Garage for being a stand-up, reputable business. I spent two months looking for a reliable used vehicle, and they were thorough with pre-purchase inspections. They helped me avoid a bad purchase and eventually find a great one.
